Service Anniversaries

Business travel is a tough. Just ask anyone who's lived out of a suitcase, stood in line for hours at a busy airport or eaten dinner alone after a day of never-ending client meetings.

If the recipients on your gift list spend a lot of time traveling, we've got some can't-miss ideas that will make life a little easier. These are practical, stylish gifts that they'll be happy to receive.

1. Wireless earbuds keep you tangle-free in busy airports and on long flights.

Wireless headphones, already gaining in popularity, quickly became the go-to choice when Apple released the iPhone 7 without a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. If the biggest tech company in the world thinks that the future is wireless, we're paying attention.

2. Packable jackets are a must when traveling to different climates.

Space and comfort are at a premium when you're on the road. A jacket that stows away in a built-in stuff sack, is perfect when you're, say, flying from Pittsburgh to Miami for mid-winter sales meetings.

These items are typically made from a material that interferes with radio waves, making a credit card’s RFID chip difficult to read by someone trying to “skim” sensitive information from the card or passport.

4. Stay versatile with Ultra Comfort Knits in washable wool blends.

There's only so much you can pack when you're living out of a suitcase. Whether you’re going business, casual or somewhere in between, these are pieces you can pair with a polo and dress pants for work during the day, or throw them over a T-shirt and wear them with your favorite jeans at night.

It is better to give than receive, right?

Since Gift Season is officially underway, we're sharing our top five occasions for year-end and holiday gift giving. These are special opportunities to make the important coworkers, clients and vendors in your life feel special.

1. Customer Appreciation

“Thank you.” Two simple words that go such a long way. Saying thanks with a special gift makes an impact and lets customers know that value their business is valued. Plus, experts estimate that acquiring a new customer can be up to 10 times more expensive than keeping a current one.

2. Employee Recognition and Service Awards

Research shows that recognition is the single most influential cause of great work across all generations of U.S. workers. It is also the number one reason employees stay with an organization. A great gift can go a long way to show employees that their efforts are appreciated.

3. Safety Awards

Safety is critical and safe work practices should be celebrated. Branded gifts, large or small, are great for recognizing safety milestones like accident-free years and encouraging safe work in the future.

4. A "Use it or Lose it" Budget

Some department heads will need to use up their 2018 budget dollars to ensure their funds won't be cut for the following year. Investing in a great branded gift will help maximize their marketing budgets as the year draws to a close.

5. Vendor and Supplier Appreciation

Business relationships matter and suppliers are essential to your customers' success. A branded gift will let this often overlooked group know they are appreciated and looked at as part of the team.

The Bottom Line

Ultimately, the goal is to choose a piece that people are going to notice - something that establishes or reinforces a brand and makes them feel special.
